Transfer 1099S for proceeds on sale of house

Eddilee — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:03:06 GMT

I received a 1099S belonging to my daughter on the sale of her house. I was a cosigner and received the net proceeds (20K) as payback for numerous payments I made on the house loan. Now I have received a 1099S for the entire sales price of 315K. In Hindsight I should not have recouped my money in this manner but what is done is done. How can I transfer this to my daughter as she will be completing the sale of her home on her taxes?

File a 1099-S for your daughter to pass along the tax liability See. General Instructions for Certain Information Returns (2023) which states:

Nominee/middleman returns.

Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received) for each of the other owners showing the amounts allocable to each. You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners. File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 with the IRS Submission Processing Center for your area. On each new Form 1099, list yourself as the “payer” and the other owner as the “recipient.” On Form 1096, list yourself as the “Filer.” A spouse is not required to file a nominee return to show amounts owned by the other spouse. The nominee, not the original payer, is responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner.
